WEBVTT JEFFERSONVILLE POLICE OFFICERS ARE WEARING A NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT STARTING TODAY. THE DEPARTMENT BOUGHT CAMERAS FOR ALL OF ITS OFFICERS. THEY SPENT LAST WEEK TRAINING WITH THE NEW DEVICES. CORY PIPPIN IS LIVE AT THE JEFFERSONVILLE POLICE HEADQUARTERS TO SHOW US HOW THEY WORK... CORY? OFFICERS WORKING TODAY WERE THE FIRST TO TRY THE BODY CAMERAS OUT. WE GOT TO RIDE ALONG AS THEY PATROLLED WITH THEM FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. NATS OFFICER AARON OLSON, A FOUR YEAR VETERAN WITH THE JEFFERSONVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT, SET OUT ON HIS NORMAL PATROL MONDAY. AS HE DROVE THROUGH THE STREETS OF JEFFERSONVILLE WITH HIS USUAL GEAR IN TOW OLSON IS READY FOR ANY SITUATION HE MAY FACE. THIS BODY CAMERA IS THE NEWEST ADDITION TO HIS EQUIPMENT Assistant Chief Scott McVoy/Jeffersonville Police Department: It should clear up some complaints, officer complaints from the public. It gives everyone a different perspective to see what we see every day out on the streets. ASSISTANT CHIEF SCOTT MCVOY SAYS OFFICERS BEGAN TRAINING LAST WEEK. THEY WERE TAUGHT HOW AND WHEN TO USE THE CAMERAS. AS OF MONDAY, EVERY JEFFERSONVILLE OFFICER WILL WEAR ONE. THE CAMERAS CAN RECORD VIDEO OR TAKE PICTURES WHILE THE OFFICERS DO THEIR JOBS. Assistant Chief Scott McVoy/Jeffersonville Police Department: They're on for all calls of service and there's a buffering mode which captures the prior 15 seconds to actually being manually turned on so that's always stored. MCVOY SAYS THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON GETTING THE CAMERAS FOR A YEAR. THEY COST THE DEPARTMENT AROUND 38- THOUSAND DOLLARS. Assistant Chief Scott McVoy/Jeffersonville Police Department: It could be used for training, on different incidents, where we can go back and say Hey, here's what we did, we could've done this, we could have done this better. JEFFERSONVILLE RESIDENTS WE SPOKE TO SAY THEY'RE GLAD OFFICERS HAVE THIS NEW TOOL. Jack Hosbach/Approves of Body Cameras: I think it's an excellent idea. It will eliminate a lot of questions and innuendos and claims and so on and it'll actually show you what happened. Byron Baldridge/Approves of Body Cameras: We'll know what the police officers are doing and no one can say the police officers are treating them wrong or unfairly. It's a great idea. THE PROGRAM WILL BE EVALUATED OVER THE NEXT 30 TO 45 DAYS. OFFICERS WILL LOOK AT HOW THEY PERFORMED AND MAKE IMPRO NECESSARY. CORY PIPPIN, WLKY NEWS. THE CAMERAS ARE WATER
